Abstract

A single-use device for injection comprises: (1) a syringe, provided with a front nose and supporting an injection needle and having a rear collar; and (2) a device for protection of the injection needle of the syringe after use comprising a protective sheath consisting of rear and front bodies to be rendered integral, and a ring, having a mechanism for locking the syringe, accommodated in the rear body. A single-use device for injection comprises: (a) a syringe (1) provided with a front nose (1a) supporting an injection needle (2) and having a rear collar (1b); and (b) a protection device for protection after the syringe has been used. The syringe delimits a chamber which is filled with a dose of fluid to be injected and is sealed by a piston (4) which is rendered integral with one of the ends of a piston rod (5) provided with a thruster (6) at its opposite end. The protection device comprises a protective sheath (7) and a ring (24). The sheath consists of front and rear tubular bodies (8, 9) provided with an assembly mechanism which makes it possible to render the bodies integral to one in the extension of the other. The front body (8) has a diameter which is conjugated relative to that of the syringe and a length designed to accommodate the syringe partially. The rear body (9) has a diameter which is larger than that of the collar of the syringe body and comprises finger-support units (23). The ring is disposed in the rear body which comprises a mechanism (29, 31) for locking the collar. This makes it possible to introduce the syringe by presenting the needle opposite the rear body of the protective sheath. The ring and the rear body comprise: (i) a first mechanism (20, 22, 27) for relative locking in translation, which can make it possible to introduce the ring in the rear body, by presenting the ring opposite the surface of the assembly of the of the latter with the front body, and defining a first locking position (the position for injection) which allows injection to take place when the device for injection has been assembled; and (ii) a second mechanism (20, 22, 28) for relative locking in translation, which defines a second locking position (the position after use) which is obtained after rearward sliding of the ring inside the rear body in which the injection needle is accommodated in the front body. The ring and the front body is provided with a stop mechanism which keeps a resilient mechanism (42) compressed in the first locking position, for injection. The ring or the rear body comprises a rear portion which is radially deformable, and supporting the first locking mechanism in translation. This portion is designed to be deformed by the thruster (6) of the piston rod (5) at the end of the path of the latter so as to release the first locking units and to permit displacement of the ring towards its second locking position, for protection after use.

Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'injection à usage unique comportant une seringue pré-remplie dotée d'un nez antérieur portant une aiguille d'injection protégée par un capuchon de protection, et un corps de seringue logeant ladite seringue et doté de moyens de blocage en rotation et en translation de cette dernière.The invention relates to an injection device for use single needle with a pre-filled syringe with an anterior nose injection needle protected by a protective cap, and a body of syringe housing said syringe and provided with locking means in rotation and in translation of the latter.

A l'heure actuelle, à titre de sécurité, certains dispositifs d'injection du type ci-dessus décrit, tel le dispositif de US 5,137,516, comportent un embout de protection du capuchon ayant également pour fonction de faciliter le retrait du capuchon de protection.At present, as a security measure, certain of the type described above, such as the device of US 5,137,516, comprise a cap protection cap also having the function of facilitating removal of the protective cap.

Ces embouts de protection généralement adaptés pour venir s'emboíter sur l'extrémité antérieure du corps de seringue comportent, en outre, un manchon central adapté pour venir coiffer le capuchon de protection et doté de griffes de préhension qui viennent se clipser à l'arrière dudit capuchon.These protective caps usually fit to come to fit on the anterior end of the syringe body further comprise a central sleeve adapted to cap the protective cap and endowed gripping claws that come clinging to the rear of said cap.

Bien que dans la pratique de tels embouts de protection permettent de remplir les objectifs visés, ils présentent toutefois un inconvénient majeur du fait que le manchon central est emboíté en force sur le capuchon de protection, et tend, lors de cet emboítement, à repousser ledit capuchon lors du passage du col d'étanchéité dont est doté classiquement le nez antérieur des seringues classiques.Although in practice such protective caps fulfill the objectives, but they have a drawback major fact that the central sleeve is fitted in force on the cap of protection, and tends, during this interlocking, to push said cap during the passage of the collar of sealing which is endowed conventionally the nose of classic syringes.

Or, le fait de repousser ainsi le capuchon peut avoir deux conséquences fâcheuses. En effet, et en premier lieu, il peut conduire à détériorer l'extrémité de l'aiguille piquée classiquement dans le capuchon. De plus, il peut entraíner une rupture de l'étanchéité entre le capuchon de protection et le nez de seringue au niveau du col d'étanchéité de cette dernière.However, thus pushing the cap can have two unfortunate consequences. Indeed, and in the first place, it can lead to deteriorate the tip of the needle stitched classically in the cap. In addition, he can cause a break in the seal between the protective cap and the nose of syringe at the sealing collar of the latter.

La présente invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients et a pour principal objectif de fournir un dispositif d'injection doté d'un système de sécurité de protection du capuchon de protection permettant le retrait aisé de ce dernier, et non susceptible de détériorer l'aiguille et d'affecter l'étanchéité.The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks and main objective is to provide an injection device with a safety protection of the protective cap allowing the easy removal of this last, and not likely to damage the needle and affect the seal.

A cet effet, l'invention vise un dispositif d'injection tel que décrit dans le préambule ci-dessus, se caractérisant en ce que :

  • il comprend un embout, dit embout à griffes, comportant une paroi frontale, et au moins deux pattes extensibles radialement s'étendant longitudinalement par rapport à la paroi frontale, aptes à coiffer le capuchon de protection et dotées d'au moins une griffe interne de préhension dudit capuchon,
  • le corps de seringue présente une face frontale postérieure ouverte apte à permettre l'introduction de la seringue, et un tronçon antérieur opposé sécable délimité par une zone frangible ménagée de façon à être positionnée sensiblement au niveau du nez antérieur de la seringue logée dans ledit corps de seringue, ledit tronçon sécable comportant un col adapté pour resserrer les pattes de l'embout à griffes de façon que ces dernières assurent la préhension du capuchon de protection,
  • lesdits tronçon sécable et embout à griffes étant dotés de moyens conjugués de blocage relatif en translation et en rotation de ces derniers.
For this purpose, the invention aims at an injection device as described in the preamble above, characterized in that:
  • it comprises a tip, said claw tip, having a front wall, and at least two radially extending tabs extending longitudinally with respect to the front wall, adapted to cap the protective cap and provided with at least one inner claw of grasping said cap,
  • the syringe body has an open posterior end face adapted to allow the introduction of the syringe, and an opposable anterior section breakable delimited by a frangible zone arranged to be positioned substantially at the anterior nose of the syringe housed in said body; syringe, said breakable section having a neck adapted to tighten the tabs of the claw tip so that the latter ensure the gripping of the protective cap,
  • said breakable section and claw end being provided with conjugate locking means relative in translation and in rotation thereof.

Selon l'invention, et en premier lieu, l'embout à griffes est simplement positionné sur le capuchon de protection avant introduction de la seringue dans le corps de seringue, et vient réellement se resserrer sur ledit capuchon par déformation radiale des pattes au niveau du col dont est doté le tronçon sécable.According to the invention, and in the first place, the claw tip is simply positioned on the protective cap before introduction of the syringe in the syringe body, and actually comes close on said cap by radial deformation of the legs at the neck of which is endowed the breakable section.

Cette solution qui consiste à emprisonner le capuchon de protection par déformation radiale des pattes de l'embout à griffes conduit à supprimer les risques de détérioration de l'aiguille et de rupture de l'étanchéité.This solution consists in imprisoning the cap of protection by radial deformation of the tabs of the claw tip leads to remove the risk of damage to the needle and break the seal.

Toutefois, afin de garantir cette absence de risques, et de façon préférentielle, chaque griffe de préhension de l'embout à griffes est positionnée de façon à assurer la préhension du capuchon de protection sensiblement à l'avant du col d'étanchéité.However, in order to guarantee this absence of risks, and preferentially, each gripping claw of the claw tip is positioned to grip the protective cap substantially at the front of the sealing collar.

Selon l'invention, en outre, le tronçon sécable constitue un élément de protection présentant des avantages indéniables quant à la sécurité et à l'inviolabilité de la protection. De plus, du fait du blocage relatif en rotation et en translation de ce tronçon sécable et de l'embout à griffes, la rupture de la zone frangible permet de retirer simultanément lesdits tronçon sécable et embout à griffes et le capuchon de protection emprisonné dans ce dernier, conduisant ainsi à libérer directement l'aiguille d'injection. According to the invention, in addition, the breakable section constitutes a protection element with undeniable advantages in terms of safety and the inviolability of protection. In addition, because of the relative locking in rotation and in translation of this breakable section and the claw end, the rupture of the zone frangible allows simultaneously removing said breakable section and tip to claws and the protective cap trapped in the latter, thus leading to to directly release the injection needle.

Il est à noter, en outre, que la rupture de la zone frangible étant obtenue classiquement en imprimant un mouvement de rotation au tronçon sécable, le capuchon de protection est également amené à tourner lors de cette rupture et son décollage est ainsi grandement facilité.It should be noted, moreover, that the rupture of the frangible zone being obtained conventionally by printing a rotational movement to the section breakable, the protective cap is also rotated during this breaking up and taking off is thus greatly facilitated.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, les moyens de blocage relatif en rotation et en translation de l'embout à griffes et du tronçon sécable comprennent :

  • une pluralité de crans longitudinaux ménagés sur au moins une des pattes de l'embout à griffes, de façon à être positionnés à l'avant du col du tronçon sécable du corps de seringue, lorsque la seringue est logée dans ce dernier,
  • une pluralité de crans longitudinaux ménagés dans le tronçon sécable à l'avant du col de ce dernier,
  • un épaulement de butée en translation de l'embout à griffes, formé par le col du tronçon sécable.
According to an advantageous embodiment, the relative locking means in rotation and in translation of the claw tip and the breakable section comprise:
  • a plurality of longitudinal notches formed on at least one of the tabs of the claw tip, so as to be positioned in front of the neck of the breakable section of the syringe body, when the syringe is housed in the latter,
  • a plurality of longitudinal notches formed in the breakable section at the front of the neck of the latter,
  • a stop shoulder in translation of the claw tip, formed by the neck of the breakable section.

De plus, de façon avantageuse, les crans longitudinaux ménagés dans le tronçon sécable sont répartis sur la totalité de la périphérie de la face interne dudit tronçon sécable, de façon à s'affranchir de l'obligation d'indexer le positionnement angulaire relatif de l'embout à griffes et du tronçon sécable.In addition, advantageously, the longitudinal notches in the breakable section are distributed over the entire periphery of the internal face of said breakable section, so as to overcome the obligation to index the relative angular positioning of the claw tip and the section scored.

Par ailleurs, afin de faciliter le franchissement du col, et de façon avantageuse, les crans longitudinaux de chaque patte de l'embout à griffes sont ménagés sur un bossage doté d'une portion antérieure inclinée formant une rampe adaptée pour faciliter le passage du col.Moreover, in order to facilitate the crossing of the pass, and advantageously, the longitudinal notches of each leg of the claw tip are formed on a boss with an inclined front portion forming a ramp adapted to facilitate the passage of the neck.

Dans le même but, et de façon avantageuse, le col du tronçon sécable est constitué d'un bossage interne doté d'une portion postérieure inclinée formant rampe d'accès.For the same purpose, and advantageously, the neck of the breakable section consists of an internal boss having an inclined rear portion forming ramp access.

Par ailleurs, afin d'assurer un bon emprisonnement du capuchon de protection, le col est avantageusement ménagé de façon à être positionné au niveau des griffes de préhension de l'embout à griffes.Moreover, in order to ensure a good imprisonment hood, the collar is advantageously arranged so as to be positioned at the gripping claws of the claw tip.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, l'embout à griffes comporte quatre pattes longitudinales uniformément réparties par rapport à l'axe de la paroi frontale, deux desdites pattes diamétralement opposées comportant un bossage, les deux autres, dites de préhension, comportant au moins une griffe de préhensionAccording to an advantageous embodiment, the claw tip has four longitudinal tabs uniformly distributed with respect to the axis of the front wall, two of said diametrically opposed tabs having a boss, the two others, called gripping, comprising at least one claw of prehension

De plus, de façon avantageuse, les pattes de préhension comprennent chacune deux griffes latérales de préhension.In addition, advantageously, the gripping lugs each comprise two lateral gripping claws.

La fabrication du dispositif d'injection ci-dessus décrit ainsi que l'interconnexion des divers organes des éléments constitutifs est explicitée ci-dessous en référence aux figures 11a à 11f.The manufacture of the injection device described above thus describes that the interconnection of the various organs of the constituent elements is explained below with reference to Figures 11a to 11f.

La première étape consiste à introduire la bague de verrouillage 24 à l'intérieur du corps postérieur 9 de l'étui protecteur 7, en présentant cette dernière en regard de la face antérieure dudit corps postérieur, jusqu'à amener les nervures 27 en butée contre l'épaulement 20 (figure 11a). Il est à noter que cette mise en place est autorisée par l'élasticité des languettes 21 et à la forme de la face antérieure 22b des nervures 22 qui forme une rampe autorisant le franchissement desdites nervures.The first step is to introduce the ring of lock 24 inside the posterior body 9 of the protective case 7, in presenting the latter opposite the anterior face of said posterior body, until the ribs 27 abut against the shoulder 20 (Figure 11a). It is note that this implementation is allowed by the elasticity of the tongues 21 and the shape of the anterior face 22b of the ribs 22 which forms a ramp authorizing the crossing of said ribs.

Il est également à noter qu'une fois la bague de verrouillage 24 mise en place, celle-ci est bloquée en rotation relativement au corps postérieur 9 du fait du positionnement des nervures 27 dans les rainures 19.It should also be noted that once the locking ring 24 implementation, it is locked in rotation relative to the posterior body 9 due to the positioning of the ribs 27 in the grooves 19.

La deuxième étape consiste à introduire partiellement un ressort à spirale 42 à l'intérieur de la bague de verrouillage 24 en présentant ce dernier en regard de la face antérieure de ladite bague, jusqu'à amener une de ses extrémités en butée contre l'épaulement 31 (figure 11b).The second step is to partially introduce a spiral spring 42 inside the locking ring 24 by presenting this last opposite the front face of said ring, to bring one of his ends abutting against the shoulder 31 (Figure 11b).

La troisième étape consiste à venir emmancher le corps antérieur 8 sur le corps postérieur par coopération du jonc de clipsage 12 avec la gorge 18 (figure 11c). Au cours de cette opération, le ressort 42 se trouve automatiquement comprimé entre les épaulements 10a des nervures 10 et l'épaulement 31. De plus, les corps antérieur 8 et postérieur se trouvent bloqués en rotation relative du fait du positionnement des ergots 13 dans les rainures 19.The third step is to come to grip the body 8 on the posterior body by cooperation of the clipping ring 12 with the groove 18 (Figure 11c). During this operation, spring 42 is located automatically compressed between the shoulders 10a of the ribs 10 and the shoulder 31. In addition, the anterior and posterior bodies 8 are blocked in relative rotation due to the positioning of the lugs 13 in the grooves 19.

Au terme de ces trois opérations qui peuvent être facilement automatisées, on obtient un ensemble de protection entièrement pré-assemblé, à l'intérieur duquel peut ensuite être introduite la seringue pré-remplie 1 tel qu'explicité ci-dessous.At the end of these three operations that can be easily automated, we obtain a fully pre-assembled protection package, inside which can be introduced the pre-filled syringe 1 as explained below.

Préalablement à cette introduction, et tel que représenté à la figure 1 1d, l'embout à griffes 32 est positionné sur le capuchon de protection 3 de la seringue 1, à ce stade dépourvue de tige de piston 5. Lors de ce positionnement, les pattes 34-37 de l'embout à griffes 32 viennent uniquement se positionner autour du capuchon de protection 3, sans risque d'enfoncer ce dernier et d'endommager l'aiguille 2 et/ou de détruire l'étanchéité.Prior to this introduction, and as represented in 1d, the claw tip 32 is positioned on the protective cap 3 of FIG. the syringe 1, at this stage devoid of piston rod 5. During this positioning, the tabs 34-37 of the claw tip 32 come only to position around the protective cap 3, without risk of pushing the latter and damage the needle 2 and / or destroy the seal.

La seringue 1 munie de l'embout à griffes 32 est ensuite introduite dans le corps postérieur 9 de l'étui protecteur 7 jusqu'à amener la collerette 1b à se bloquer entre les nervures 29 et l'épaulement 31 (figure 11e). Il est à noter que cette introduction est autorisée par la faculté de se déformer des nervures 29 et à la forme de rampe de la face postérieure 29a de ces nervures 29 qui autorise le franchissement de ces dernières par la collerette 1b.The syringe 1 provided with the claw tip 32 is then introduced into the posterior body 9 of the protective case 7 to bring the flange 1b to lock between the ribs 29 and the shoulder 31 (Figure 11e). he It should be noted that this introduction is authorized by the faculty of deforming ribs 29 and the ramp shape of the rear face 29a of these ribs 29 which authorizes the crossing of the latter by the flange 1b.

De plus, lors de cette introduction, l'embout à griffes 32 est amené à se resserrer sur le capuchon de protection 3 lors du passage des bossages 40 de ce dernier au niveau de la rampe 15 du tronçon sécable 8b et du col 50, passage en outre facilité par la forme de rampe de la portion antérieure 40b desdits bossages.Moreover, during this introduction, the claw tip 32 is brought to tighten on the protective cap 3 during the passage of the bosses 40 of the latter at the ramp 15 of the breakable section 8b and the neck 50, passage further facilitated by the ramp shape of the anterior portion 40b said bosses.

Il est à noter, en outre, que tel que représenté à la figure 1, lors de ce resserrement, les griffes 38, 39 viennent pénétrer dans le capuchon de protection 3 à l'avant du cône en verre dont sont munis classiquement les nez antérieurs des seringues classiques 1, destinées à assurer l'étanchéité. Ainsi, tout risque d'enfoncement du capuchon de protection 3 et donc d'endommagement de l'aiguille 2 et/ou de destruction de l'étanchéité se trouve écarté.It should be noted, moreover, that as shown in FIG. during this tightening, the claws 38, 39 come into the hood of protection 3 at the front of the glass cone which are conventionally provided with the nose previous conventional syringes 1, intended to seal. So, everything risk of depression of the protective cap 3 and therefore damage to the needle 2 and / or destruction of the seal is discarded.

Une fois cette étape réalisée, il convient de noter que l'embout à griffes 32 et l'étui protecteur 7 sont bloqués en rotation relative du fait de la coopération des crans respectifs 16, 41 de ces derniers. De plus, d'une part, le capuchon de protection 3 est bloqué en rotation par rapport à l'embout à griffes 32 du fait de la pénétration dans ce dernier des griffes 38, 39, et d'autre part, cet embout à griffes 32, l'étui protecteur 7 et la bague de verrouillage 24 sont également bloqués en rotation relative tel qu'explicité ci-dessus.Once this step has been completed, it should be noted that the claw tip 32 and the protective case 7 are locked in relative rotation because of the cooperation of notches 16, 41 of these respective. In addition, on the one hand, the protective cap 3 is locked in rotation relative to the claw tip 32 due to the penetration into the latter claws 38, 39, and secondly, this claw tip 32, the protective case 7 and the locking ring 24 are also blocked in relative rotation as explained above.

La dernière étape représentée à la figure 11f consiste enfin à solidariser de façon classique la tige de piston 5 au piston 4. On obtient alors un dispositif d'injection prêt à l'emploi dont l'utilisation est décrite ci-après en référence aux figures 12 à 14.The last step shown in Figure 11f is finally to connect the piston rod 5 to the piston 4 in a conventional manner. ready-to-use injection device whose use is described below in reference to Figures 12 to 14.

En premier lieu, tel que représenté à la figure 12, l'étape initiale consiste à rompre la zone frangible 14 en soumettant de façon classique le tronçon sécable 8 à un mouvement de rotation et en tirant celui-ci. Lors du mouvement, l'ensemble des éléments (capuchon de protection3, étui protecteur 7, bague de verrouillage 24 étant bloqués relativement en rotation, le capuchon de protection 3 est amené en premier lieu à tourner, facilitant le décollage de ce dernier, puis l'embout à griffes 32 est bloqué en translation par rapport au tronçon sécable 8b par butée des bossages 40 contre l'épaulement 17, de sorte que le capuchon de protection 3 est retiré simultanément avec l'embout à griffes 32 et ledit tronçon sécable.First, as shown in Figure 12, the step initial step is to break the breakable zone 14 by conventionally submitting the section breakable 8 to a rotational movement and pulling it. During the movement, all the elements (protective cap3, protective case 7, locking ring 24 being locked relatively in rotation, the cap of protection 3 is brought first to turn, facilitating the take-off of this last, then the claw tip 32 is locked in translation relative to the section 8b breakable by abutment bosses 40 against the shoulder 17, so that the protective cap 3 is removed simultaneously with the claw tip 32 and said breakable section.

L'injection peut alors être réalisée de façon classique par action antagoniste sur le poussoir 6 et la collerette d'appui digital 23. En fin d'injection, tel que représenté à la figure 13, le bord profilé 6a du poussoir 6 vient coopérer avec le bord profilé 26a des pattes 26 de la bague de verrouillage 24, conduisant à déformer radialement vers l'intérieur lesdites pattes 26 jusqu'à entraíner la libération des nervures 27.The injection can then be carried out in a conventional manner by antagonistic action on the pusher 6 and the digital support collar 23. In the end injection, as shown in Figure 13, the profiled edge 6a of the pusher 6 comes cooperate with the profiled edge 26a of the tabs 26 of the locking ring 24, leading to deform radially inward said legs 26 to to cause the liberation of the ribs 27.

Il est à noter, en outre, que les nervures 27 étant disposées en position intermédiaire sur les pattes 26, ces dernières possèdent ainsi une rampe postérieure auxdites nervures qui permet d'absorber les tolérances de fabrication des seringues 1 et de garantir la délivrance de l'intégralité de la dose de liquide.It should be noted, moreover, that the ribs 27 being arranged intermediate position on the legs 26, the latter thus have a ramp posterior to said ribs which absorbs the tolerances of syringes 1 and guarantee the delivery of the entire dose of liquid.

Tel que représenté à la figure 14, une fois l'injection terminée et l'effort sur le poussoir 6 supprimé, la bague de verrouillage 24 sollicitée par le ressort 42 est repoussée à l'intérieur de l'étui protecteur 7 entraínant la seringue 1, jusqu'à ce que les nervures 28 franchissent la rampe 22b des nervures 22 et viennent se bloquer entre lesdites nervures 22 et l'épaulement 20, interdisant un emploi ultérieur du dispositif d'injection.As shown in Figure 14, once the injection completed and the effort on the pusher 6 removed, the lock ring 24 biased by the spring 42 is pushed back inside the protective case 7 driving the syringe 1, until the ribs 28 cross the ramp 22b ribs 22 and come to lock between said ribs 22 and the shoulder 20, prohibiting further use of the injection device.

En dernier lieu, et de façon avantageuse, le corps antérieur 8 de l'étui protecteur 7 est réalisé en un matériau translucide de façon à permettre de visualiser la seringue 1. Le corps postérieur 9 de cet étui protecteur est quant à lui réalisé en un matériau opaque de façon à masquer à la vue de l'utilisateur et du patient le mécanisme de déclenchement.Lastly, and advantageously, the anterior body 8 of the protective case 7 is made of a translucent material so as to allow to visualize the syringe 1. The posterior body 9 of this protective case is as for made of an opaque material so as to mask the view of the user and of the patient the trigger mechanism.

La bague de verrouillage 24 est quant à elle réalisée en un matériau de couleur différente de celui du corps postérieur 9 de façon à permettre d'identifier immédiatement les dispositifs d'injection déjà utilisés.The locking ring 24 is in turn made of a color material different from that of the posterior body 9 so as to allow to immediately identify the injection devices already used.
